Good luck. I hope they make you a much better offer. :money:

I have been resting all day. I am going to stay with the boys and hope it cheers me up. :j

Last nights slow cooker stew was a success and I have put 4 portions in the freezer.


I was so relaxed (stuffed full of stew !) that I fell asleep on the sofa about 8.30, woke about 11.30 and went to bed and have been wide awake since 5.30am (usual Mon-Fri getting up for work time).


Plans for today -


1. NSD
2. clean bathroom
3. mop bathroom & kitchen floors
4. dishwasher on & washing machine later if this fog clears
5. tidy (hide) paperwork - I don't know where it all comes from. I have tried to bin receipts not needed once I have crossed them off my banking, but I seem to end up with loads of letters/bills which need sorting and filing. I have boxes for each utility / car / house etc but never seem to get around to it Note to self - MUST DO BETTER :rotfl:


Also going to attempt to rebuild wardrobe to put on gumtree - may wait until the girls are here tonight and they can give me a hand

I did some batch cooking this morning for DS's breakfasts... sausages and chicken & bacon. I pinched a spare sausage for my breakfast with an egg and a slice of toast.


All cleaning done and paperwork tidied... (hidden) on my to do list for another day


Managed to get towels out on the line for a couple of hours but the fog is now back so I've brought the washing in to finish off on airers.


Had a little snooze, and now I just need to hoover and I'm as ready as I'm gonna be, friends arrive after 6pm.

I know what you mean about the paperwork SYA, I constantly have a pile by my box files of stuff that need to be sorted, whether or not I have just sorted through the pile! :rotfl: It's better than a man's system though, which is to file pretty much all paperwork in the bin...

Sounds like you've had a productive weekend so far - hopefully not too tired to enjoy your friends' company!

Well done on batch cooking. Have lots of fun with your friends.

I had a great time last night and although I had some home brewed wine (gifted by another friend) I don't have a hang over and I slept really well too ! :beer:
Hope you are both feeling better.

The cupboards are looking bare this morning, I didn't fancy porridge but found 2 slices of bread left in the freezer and a bit of grated cheese left in the fridge so I've had a slice of cheese on toast for breakfast. DS was home 1am then up and out to volunteer job at 8am. I have food for dinner later and breakfast / lunch tomorrow but will need to shop again for lunches / dinners for the rest of the week.

With the pizzas/garlic bread last night, which were a big success, the total spend so far for March £157.65 / £300

This is a bit over budget at £60 a week x 2 so as its a 5 week month I will have to try and cut back over the next 3 weeks to even it out.

Personal spends left now £31.30. I have a lunch out later this month and a trip to the museum (where tea may be consumed) so should be ok.

Its pouring with rain here today so not much planned may just chill out.

You sound really organised. If we keep doing this we are going to be rich I think. I can't believe I didn't use this system before.

Went to work but no heating so got sent home & now waiting for phone call to go back once sorted. Lovely sunny day but blimey its cold out there ! Heating on at home now so extra expense but at least I am starting to warm up. Washing machine on too.

savingwannabe

Glad heating is done. It is so expensive. Yikes we need emergency funds and mine has nothing in it.

Hi SW heating at home is fine its broken at work which is why they sent me home... so I am at home waiting for my "shift" to end and then I am going shopping. I have made a list and must stick to budget !!!
